All depends on what part of the country you're in how dumb you are.

I saw it in a drive-in when it came out when I was 5. The little speaker hanging in the window sounded better than surround sound. Always cherish that moment.

They filmed much of it near where I grew up. I remember one day they were filming near the bridge - I saw Burt sitting in the Bandit and snuck up to him using back roads that were not blocked off. I was in my Mustang and wanted to challenge him to a short race. When I pulled up he turned his head towards my car and I saw it was a stunt double.....The guy just smiled and then yelled at me to 'get the hell out of there', funny stuff for a kid.

Lived in the metro Atlanta area all my life and the movie is both great and nostalgic IMO.
Dad was purchasing agent for Wicks building materials and I remember him bringing us down when they were filming the BBQ joint / Bus station scene. Also filmed much of the movies final chase scene on the " Then " partially completed HWY 400. Lots of shots in the south metro area around Fayetteville, Jonesboro and Mcdonough. Check out the link below for a then and now photo show. The site takes still shots from the movie and then shows a current day picture. The shots in the north Georgia area around Helen Ga. look remarkably unchanged, especially the area where they ran from the cops and drove through the river. http://atlantatimemachine.com/smokey/thumbnails.htm |

I noticed people in northern Arkansas and Oklahoma range tend to sound the same way they do through Tennessee. I love that accent and way of thinking.
